The Online Teaching Institute is a fully online opportunity in which graduate student instructors work together with support on the design of an online course. Throughout the Institute, graduate students new to teaching online will have the opportunity to devise, create, and reflect on the different components of an online course. At the same time, participants with online teaching experience may work through the modules of the Institute to further reflect on their existing or previously taught online courses.
By the end of this Institute, participants will be able to:
Build and support a community of inquiry in an online course
Efficiently manage student and instructor workload
Articulate learner-centered outcomes and objectives for an online course
Design effective online assessments aligned with course objectives
Plan, organize, and create online lessons on Moodle
Identify which learning technologies and approaches best fit their course’s learning objectives
Institute Structure
Following a virtual kick-off meeting, you will work through the Institute’s modules on your own time while participating as desired in collaborative online discussions to support your work. Throughout both weeks of the Institute, participants will have the opportunity for dedicated individual time with LITS consultants to support hands-on development of their online course. On the last day of the Institute, participants will meet up virtually to share experiences, impressions, and next steps with their peers and to celebrate the course development work they've completed.
